Default 1966 Exhaust manifold help

I need to buy an original set of exhaust manifolds for my '66 300hp and want to make sure I get the right ones. I don't want to end up with SMOG or AIR ones. Are the part numbers different for those varieties? Can someone let me know the part numbers I need? I also have a question about date codes. I see dated ones for sale with a date of D13, for example, but no mention of the year code. Shouldn't the code be 6D13 in that case? Thanks for the help.

1966 exhaust manifold casting numbers are as follows;

327 300 and 350 HP - Left side 3846559 and Right side 3747042

The 327 A.I.R. manifolds are - Left side 3872765 and Right side 3872778.

Are those part numbers only for 1966? If not, how do you tell the year they were made?

Those are the casting numbers on the outside of the manifolds. The same castings are used for some models and 65 and 67.

The casting date does not have the year. Once installed you can't see the casting date. In fact NCRS Does not judge the casting day

I just bought a pair on Ebay. Looks like at least one forum member is looking for a pair in the for sale/wanted form.
